  • Businessman Gabriel 'N' was arrested in Nuevo León for alleged real estate fraud.
  • He is accused of defrauding an investor out of 20 million pesos for a project that was never completed.
  • Gabriel 'N' had previously been linked to the case but violated a court order to enter a detention center.

A prominent businessman from San Pedro Garza García, identified as Gabriel 'N', has been apprehended by agents of the Nuevo León State Attorney General's Office. His arrest stems from accusations of fraud linked to a real estate development project planned for Culiacán, Sinaloa.

The capture occurred on June 18 in the Residencial Chipinque neighborhood, executing an arrest warrant issued by the State Investigation Agency. According to the investigation, Gabriel 'N' allegedly persuaded an investor in 2018 to contribute 20 million pesos to a development named 'Estela'.

However, the project failed to materialize, resulting in a significant financial loss for the investor. The Attorney General's Office stated that Gabriel 'N' had already been formally charged in the fraud case. He had been under a court order to voluntarily enter a state detention center, but he failed to comply, leading to the issuance of the new arrest warrant.

Following his arrest, Gabriel 'N' was transferred to a state prison and is now awaiting further proceedings before a judge.
